Logc Pro X - TIME ruler - selecting exact time for bounce.

I often need to make my bounce exactly :30 or :60 for radio and TV work. In LP9 I was able to view the TIME ruler, without making any changes to project settings, and select the time I needed (setting the locators for the bounce).

In LPX it seems that the to see a time scale (in musical mode) i need to view the secondary ruler, yet it is not selectable to set the locators to exactly :30 or :60 or whatever, I had success by switching the project settings to TIME, then setting the locators, then going back to musical. But that sure is a lot of steps.

AND I hate to lose the functionality of my audio bounced files not having the tempo information embedded because I am in TIME mode.

Need a quick workflow solution. Head scratcher, Any thoughts?

In Logic 9 you could click on the note icon and view the ruler in beat and time as well as the locators. I can't find this function in Logic X. Help!!

Hi

Settings:General Project Type : Uncheck Use Musical Grid. You;ll probably want the Secondary Ruler on?

The issue is one of workflow. I realize that it is in settings. The fastest way I can find to select :30 exactly is to use the project settings key command "option-P" and under general, uncheck "Use musical grid", putting LOGIC in TIME mode.

Then highlite the primary ruler to :30. Then bounce.

Seems fine. But bouncing in TIME mode does not record the tempo information in the audio file, which can be a drag. So to add tempo information you have to switch back to musical mode. MULTIPLE STEPS.

LPX seems to have added steps to what was once a simple swipe on a second ruler that could be selected, and then hit bounce.

So I was wondering if anyone had found a better workflow solution.
